Day 11: 6/2


Today I had an interesting and very informational conversation with a friend we made at the nearby ice-cream shop. It was an informal type of interview for my ethnography project that really helped me to think about what I want to focus on for my ethnography project. Based on our conversation, I want to focus on a comparison between the musical culture in America and the Arabic musical culture. The themes of some of the songs that are commonly known in this area talk about political issues, national pride, and the Jordanian king. It is interesting also that these types of songs are sung by famous artists, and are recognized by the Jordanian youth.
